L’étude vise à évaluer les représentations d’attachement, les symptômes de troubles de l’attachement ainsi que les difficultés émotionnelles et comportementales chez des enfants de 7 à 12 ans hébergés dans des institutions de protection de la jeunesse, ayant vécu des situations potentiellement traumatiques et répétées au sein de leurs relations d’attachement primaires (p. ex., négligence, […]

The Arctic climate is changing three times faster than any other eco-region in the world. As the climate warms, flowering times of many species are shifting which can affect plant productivity and reproductive success. Flowering time responses to climate change among species is diverse. The diversity of responses has implications for tundra plant community structure […]

The use of sexual enhancement products alone or with a partner can be part of a healthy, satisfying sex life. Although many men and women report using products (like vibrators) during sexual activities, very little research has examined individuals’ preferences (i.e., type, shape, size, methods of use) for anal sex toys. Obotics Inc. has developed […]

RepliCel is a regenerative medicine company that develops autologous cell therapies to treat chronic tendinosis, UV-damaged or aged skin, and pattern baldness. The cells in this technology are isolated from skin biopsies obtained from patients. However, because of limited available tissue samples, RepliCel seeks novel technologies to improve their cell culture process, which is currently […]

Les bières faibles en alcool ont souvent un goût de moût résiduel. Ce goût est causé par certains aldéhydes; des molécules qui proviennent du brassage de la bière et du touraillage du grain. Heureusement, durant la fermentation, ces aldéhydes peuvent être transformés en molécules aux arômes agréables. Ce projet s’intéresse aux différents facteurs qui peuvent […]

Le saule à croissance rapide (SCR) est une plante pérenne qui est depuis récemment exploitée comme source bioénergétique au Québec et elle commence à connaitre une certaine notoriété en phytoremédiation grâce à sa capacité à décontaminer les polluants des terrains sur lesquels elle est implantée. Cependant, comme les plantations de SCR deviennent de plus en […]

Canada is the third largest exporter and the fourth largest producer of oil in the world. Thus, oil is a very important part of the Canadian economy. Oil is a cleaner fuel than coal, but it still has many disadvantages. For example, oil spills that occurs during transport and drilling can cause great environmental damage. […]

In the agri-food industry, monitoring the production and/or processing of raw materials can be important for ensuring the quality of the end-product. Measurement of specific compounds during processing can provide the feedback required to make informed adjustments resulting in a quality enhancement of the product. Biosensors are the devices that can provide detection and/or quantification […]

Melampsora larici-populina est un très petit champignon causant la maladie de la rouille du peuplier. Une fois qu’il s’est incrusté dans une de ces plantations, ce dernier cause d’énormes pertes financières. Pour y arriver, celui-ci injecte des petites protéines afin de déjouer ses défenses immunitaires et de s’approprier ses nutriments pour se développer. Pour arriver […]

The aim of this project is to analyse symbiont and microbial communities of F1 corals from different parental lineages (high/low heat tolerant) during a mild heat stress/natural bleaching event in order to identify communities/traits which are associated with heat tolerance.

Northern high-latitude ecosystems experience disproportionate levels of climate change. This strongly affects the previously temperature-limited vegetation in the sub-arctic tundra. Treelines, the boundaries between forests and the tree-less tundra, are expected to shift northwards in response. However, only half of the examined treelines have advanced since 1900. Why warming is associated with treeline advances in […]

Insect pests pose a major threat to forestry in Canada, the UK and globally, particularly in the context of a changing climate and global trade. Effective survey and detection tools are needed to provide early warnings of pest outbreaks and provide information to guide decisions about the need for management action. For eruptive and invasive […]
